Research group Jiayin Yuan's group

Our mission is to design, create and investigate broadly defined functional polymers and carbons, particularly in a well-structured (e.g., colloidal or porous) form, via simple chemistry and processing.

Our mission is to design, create and investigate broadly defined functional polymers and carbons, particularly in a well-structured (e.g., colloidal or porous) form, via simple chemistry and processing. We aim to understand fundamental knowledge and confront challenges in these materials to build up a better and more sustainable society. The team deals with both basics in polymer science and carbon research, and the forefront topics in materials science and processing to inspire new solutions to environmental and energy issues.




Making future plastic from carbon dioxide

Can carbon dioxide become a raw material for producing plastic? Researcher Jiayin Yuan hopes so, as he develops a method to replace current oil-based raw materials with carbon dioxide to achieve significant climate benefits.
